Usage telemetry is on by default with unhashed identifiers, and three high or critical advisories were published against it in the last 12 months, all fixed.\n\n**guilds.run.** A self-hosted multi-agent system that records each run's prompt, tool calls and memory changes, with per-agent models and tools and no telemetry by default. Public since 9 October 2026, it has no tagged release or published package, its own security register lists 13 open issues, and the site's terms and privacy links return 404.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Agno\n\n1. Set AGNO_TELEMETRY=false before the first run, and pass telemetry=False to AgentOS and to each eval, which ignore the variable\n2. Configure JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY with AgentOS authorisation switched on, or OS_SECURITY_KEY, before exposing AgentOS. With neither set, REST and MCP routes take no credential\n3. Mark tools that write with requires_confirmation, and resume with continue_run once every requirement is resolved\n4. Set tool_call_limit on agents. The default is None\n5. Install extras for what you use, such as agno[mcp] for MCPTools and agno[os,mcp] for AgentOS with its MCP server\n\n### guilds.run\n\n1. Keep the box on loopback or behind an authenticating proxy with AUTH_MODE=trusted-header. The default mode does not authenticate\n2. Put agents that hold different secrets or GitHub tokens on different machines. Agents on one machine can read each other's homes and tokens\n3. Back up the .env file written by ./setup.sh. It holds the only copy of the key that encrypts stored credentials\n4. Set a spend limit at your model provider. guilds.run sets no spend cap, and max_tool_calls defaults to 50 per run\n5. Pin a commit of main when you deploy. There are no tagged releases or versioned images yet\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Agno or guilds.run?\n\nAgno scores 72.8 (BB) on agent readiness against guilds.run's 56.5 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. guilds.run leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Are Agno and guilds.run open source?\n\nYes.
